Episode Details

"How To Train Your Dragon" is a live-action remake of the 2010 Academy Award-nominated animated film of the same name, produced by DreamWorks Animation. Directed by the original trilogy's creator and filmmaker Dean DeBlois, the film stars Mason Thames, Nico Parker, and Nick Frost, with Gerard Butler reprising his role as Stoick the Vast from the animated films. Academy Award-nominated composer John Powell, who also worked on the trilogy, additionally returned to compose the score for the film. DeBlois and Powell were both kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Universal Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy!
